19 May. North of New York City

Rained all night, low in the 40s.  Overcast day with some misting rain.  Clearing in pm.

Apparently we missed the Rhododendron blooming.  Saw plenty on southern PA before blooming.  Now they are past blooming here.  Mtn. Laurel getting ready to bloom.   Also many more Lady Slippers blooming.

Saw 1 snake, 1 deer, and lots of ravens.  There was a nest at the top of some rocks the trail went over.  I got very close to the ravens before they left the nest.  Have nice pictures with the camera but unfortunately not with the droid.

Got to the shelter by noon.  Seems a waste.  Leg feels good....

Kept walking.  Did a total of 10 miles.   Sleeping on Buchanan Mtn. in the tent. 

Passed Fitsgerald Falls (see picture).    Crossed Mombasha High Point.   Even though it was cloudy overhead,  it was clear underneath.  We could see the New York City skyline.   The picture is grainy but trust me, you could see it.
